Hello all! I am trying to configure a use case which is to connect with SSH and RDP to the same Windows system through Password Safe. I have gone and tried testing this but it seems to be that Password Safe only supports 1 protocol and not 2 at the same time as even configuring duplicates in Password Safe makes it stick with whichever came first.Is this possible?

Looks like BeyondTrust Docs is migrated to a new document hosting solution and it is missing some of the documentation when compare to earlier documentation.  For example: Database Scan Account Creation, scan and functional account required permissions for Linux/Unix assets 

Customer recently updated Windows 11 version from 23h2 to 24h2. After the update, single user is facing an RDP graphics issue. As per the KB article for cloud password safe  https://beyondtrustcorp.service-now.com/csm?id=kb_article_view&sysparm_article=KB0021625, we have to make gfx registry changes.but for other users its working fine. As it's a global setting for all users, if we make the changes, does it disturb the RDP launch for the other user??

We implemented Password Safe for our dedicated domain admin accounts in May/2024. At the time, we experienced some frequent lockout issues with these accounts, but nothing that couldn’t be explained or resolved by simple process changes for users (i.e. forgetting to sign out of systems before the password release expires). In Sept/2024, we saw an uptick in lockout frequency with these accounts that couldn’t be explained. Most of the lockout events occurred on the Windows machines users were in possession of rather than from accessing a remote VM like we saw in the past, (aside from some of our support staff who encountered lockouts from end user machines they had previously worked with and used their credentials to establish a remote support session via Teamviewer). Lockouts occur multiple times a day regardless of a reboot on the problem device. No processes are found running with dedicated admin account on the machine, yet ongoing lockout events on the account continue to r

We have several issues, and resolving them would be very easy if we can get information from the users session request, specifically duration. we have turned off ESA and log off on disconnect due to business use requirements so if a user does not sign out of an RDO session properly the privileged account will become locked after password safe does a post release password reset. in the most recent case the user is getting locked out and we find this through a daily lockout report from our SEIM. the user is notified and claps back that she has not been on the machine in days. in researching we see she accessed this sever and failed to logout properly 7 days earlier. we assume the user requested this session for 7 days, however the user does not remember. we would like to address this but with no solid evidence we cannot do that. any suggestions?
